Bill's the fust, but 'e won't be the last not by a long chalk." "They're more careful now," ses Dicky Weed, the tailor. "All right; 'ave it your own way," ses Bob, nasty-like.
"Bill's kid the little boy who stuck by my wife when Lucy was born." "Same boy, and he's damn sorry to find you in this fix," responded Pan, forcefully. "And he's here to get you out." Blake sagged back as slowly as he had arisen. His face changed like that of a man suddenly stabbed. And he dropped his head. In that moment Pan saw enough to make him glad.
Antony pushed the shelves back, extracted Ussher from Bill's fingers, replaced him, and then, taking Bill by the arm, led him to the sofa and deposited him in it. Standing in front of him, he bowed gravely. "Child's play, Watson," he said; "child's play." "How on earth " Antony laughed happily and sat down on the sofa beside him.
Buster Bumblebee was so fascinated by it that he sat right down on a low-hanging maple bough and kept his eyes fixed on that marvellous boy. Before the feast came to an end the boy Bill's face underwent an odd change. In the beginning it had worn a wide smile. But at last Buster saw a look of pain steal over Bill's somewhat besmeared features.
In illustration of the truth of this, I may give an extract from a letter to her brother, written from Roe Head, May 17th, 1832: "Lately I had begun to think that I had lost all the interest which I used formerly to take in politics; but the extreme pleasure I felt at the news of the Reform Bill's being thrown out by the House of Lords, and of the expulsion, or resignation of Earl Grey, &c., convinced me that I have not as yet lost all my penchant for politics.

His action here, just like the ruffian Bill's, was instinctive, beyond his control.
"Why, how is this?" exclaimed the captain, as he saw Bill's condition. Bill told him.

In another minute Bill was between the blankets; but the doctor, after feeling his pulse, pronounced him none the worse for his ducking.
The farmhand had filled his box and disappeared around the corner of the house. K. put his hand on Bill's shirt-sleeved arm. "We've got to get him away from here, Bill." "Get who away?" "You know. The county men may come back to search the premises." "How do I know you aren't one of them?" "I guess you know I'm not. He's a friend of mine.
He jerked his head in the direction of the hut, "I saw you close it." Charlie seemed to have recovered from the apprehension which had caused him to obey his brother unquestioningly. There was an angry sparkle in his eyes as he gazed steadily into Bill's face. "That's none of your damn business," he said, in a low tone of surly truculence.
